The authors use an auxiliary tool for obtaining the database, the finite population sampling by quotas of age with 95% confidence interval and sampling error of 5%. Such a study is relevant when the authors consider the statistical data that cervical cancer is the second most frequent tumor in female population and the fourth cause of death from cancer in Brazil, added to the fact that, if diagnosed early, the chance of cure can reach almost 100%.展开更多
